Are you there, Lord?

Psalm 13 how long Lord will you forget me forever how long will you hide your face from me how long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart how long will my enemy triumph over me look on me and answer Lord my God give light to my my eyes or I will sleep in death and my enemy will say I have overcome him and my foes will rejoice when I fall but I trust in your unfailing love my heart rejoices in your salvation I will sing the Lord's praise

for he has been good to me Job chapter 23 then job replied even today my complaint is bitter his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning if only I knew where to find him if only I could go to his dwelling I would State my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments I would find out what he would answer me and consider what he would say to me would he vigorously oppose me with great power no he would not press charges against me there the upright can establish their innocence before him and

there I would be delivered forever from my judge but if I go to the east he is not there if I go to the West I do not find him when he is at work in the north I do not see him when he turns to the South I catch no glimpse of him but he knows the way that I take when he has tested me I shall come forth as gold my feet have closely followed his steps I have kept to his way without turning aside I have not departed from the commands of his

lips I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread but he stands alone and who can oppose him he does whatever he pleases he carries out his decree against me and many such plans he still has in store that is why I am terrified before him but when I think of all this I fear Him God has made my heart faint the almighty has terrified me yet I am not silenced by the darkness by the thick darkness that covers my face Psalm 42 As the deer pants for streams of water so

my soul pants for you my God my soul thirsts for God God for the Living God where can I go and meet with God my tears have been my food day and night while people say to me all day long where is your God these things I remember as I pour out my soul how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the mighty one with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng why my soul are you downcast why so Disturbed within me put your hope in God for

I will yet Praise Him My Savior and my God my soul is downcast within me therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan the heights of Herman from Mount mizar deep calls to deep in the Roar of your waterfalls all your waves and Breakers have swept Over Me by day the Lord directs his love at night his song is with me a prayer to the god of my life I say to God my rock why have you forgotten me why must I go about mourning oppressed by the enemy my bones suffer mortal

Agony as my foes taunt me saying to me all day long where is your god why my soul are you downcast why so Disturbed within me put your hope in God for I will yet Praise Him My Savior and my God Psalm 139 you have searched me Lord and you know me you know when I sit and when I Rise you perceive my thoughts from afar you discern my going out and my lying down you are familiar with all my ways before a word is on my tongue you Lord know it completely you hem me

in behind and before and you lay your hand upon me such knowledge is too wonderful for me too lofty for me to attain where can I go from your spirit where can I flee from your presence if I go up to the heavens you are there if I make my bed in the depths you are there if I rise on the wings of the Dawn if I settle on the far side of the sea even there your hand will guide me your right hand will hold me fast if I say say surely the darkness will

hide me and the light become night around me even the darkness will not be dark to you the night will shine like the day for darkness is as light to you for you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother's womb I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful I know that fly well my frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place when I was woven together in the depths of the earth your eyes saw my unformed body all the days

ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be how precious to me are your thoughts God how vast is the sum of them were I to count them they would outnumber the grains of sand when I awake I am still with you if only you God would slay the wicked away from me you who are bloodthirsty they speak of you with evil intent your adversaries misuse your name do I not hate those who hate you Lord and uphor those who are in Rebellion against you I have nothing but hatred

for them I count them my enemies search me God and know my heart test me and know my anxious thoughts see if there is any offensive way in me and Lead Me in the way Everlasting
